Okay, so i just changed my soap from dove to a natural honey and oat soap. i noticed i have some random bumps (possibly irriataed pores?) on my leg.

Folliculitis : Well, the idea of putting honey the soap is interesting but I'm wondering if that would result in the soap having some degree of sugar in it. If so, I could conceive the possibility that putting sugar on your skin might predispose towards irritation/inflammation of the hair follicle = folliculitis. Try switching back to Dove and see what happens.
